Hi everyone,

I received multiple plants and they all came with different names but they look the same to me, can anyone please help in IDing them please.

This one I got as A. 'White Cloud':



This one I got as A. 'Quicksilver':



This I got as an unnamed hybrid but I thought it was A. 'White Stag':



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Wesley

Those three all appear to be of the same hybrid. Were these the only ones of those named cultivars available or were there multiple plants of each name available?

Wesley,

These are small plants and I would like to see them grown and flowered so you could be sure.

They sort of look like cv 'quick silver'

What was the source and maybe you can follow it back that way.

I have done some white hybrids but these do not appear to be really distinguished ones and these are not any of my names. I recently saw that quite a few of the "seconds" that got sold off from the Nursery that I work for are now being named.

'Moondance' is a very nice white as is 'Snow white' these are ones I hybridized for color, flower and growth.

If you like it, buy it. Unless I named it, it is not one of mine.

The last plant pictured seems to have marginal teeth, but the first two don't it seems?

I got all 3 from different sources (The first one originally came from the Botanical Gardens in Thailand apparently), the second came from a friend by the name of Josiah Hartzell and the last I am not sure, so they could all be different I think the best thing to do is to wait till they flower and then repost them.

Tim, yeah, you are right. The first two have a thin white margin kinda like striata and the last has minute teeth.
